BASIS OF PRESENTATION
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Curtiss-Wright Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Corporation or the Company) is a diversified, multinational manufacturing and service company that designs, manufactures, and overhauls precision components and systems and provides highly engineered products and services to the aerospace, defense, automotive, shipbuilding, processing, oil, petrochemical, agricultural equipment, railroad, power generation, security, and metalworking industries.
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Curtiss-Wright and its majority-owned subsidiaries.  All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
 
On March 30, 2012, the Corporation sold its heat treating business to Bodycote plc.  The Corporation divested this non-core cyclical business to focus on higher technology engineered services such as specialty coatings and materials testing.  As a result of the divestiture, the results of operations for the heat treating business, which were previously reported as part of the Surface Technologies segment, have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Please refer to Footnote 3 of the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant of these estimates includes the estimate of costs to complete long-term contracts under the percentage-of-completion accounting methods, the estimate of useful lives for property, plant, and equipment, cash flow estimates used for testing the recoverability of assets, pension plan and postretirement obligation assumptions, estimates for inventory obsolescence, estimates for the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets, warranty reserves, legal reserves, and the estimate of future environmental costs. Changes in estimates of contract sales, costs, and profits are recognized using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. This method recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods. Accordingly, the effect of the changes on future periods of contract performance is recognized as if the revised estimate had been the original estimate. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Corporation incurred unanticipated additional costs, within its Flow Control segment, of $12.2 million and $20.3 million, respectively, on its long-term contract with Westinghouse for disassembly, inspection, and packaging costs related to the reactor coolant pumps (RCP) that the Corporation is supplying for the AP1000 nuclear power plants in China. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of the operating results for a full year.

Corrections to Prior Years Amounts

The presentation of net sales and cost of sales in the prior year's statement of earnings has been corrected to separately present the components of product and service revenues and costs of sales. This change in presentation did not affect total revenues, total cost of sales, total gross profit, operating income, or net earnings.

Out of Period Correction of an Immaterial Error Related to Three and Six Month Periods ended June 30, 2013

In the third quarter of 2013, the Corporation recorded an out of period adjustment related to the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 of $18 million to decrease comprehensive income and increase our deferred tax liability to reflect the tax impact of a May 31, 2013 amendment to our Curtiss-Wright Pension Plan which required a plan remeasurement. This error did not affect our condensed consolidated statement of net earnings or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 or the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013.  The Corporation evaluated the effects of this error on the June 30, 2013 condensed consolidated financial statements and based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, the Corporation determined that the error was not material and, therefore, amendment of previously filed reports is not required. 




RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

ADOPTION OF NEW STANDARDS

Other Comprehensive Income:  Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In February 2013, new guidance was issued that amends the current comprehensive income guidance.  The new guidance requires entities to disclose the effect of each item that was reclassified in its entirety out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net income on each affected net income line item.  For reclassification items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, a cross-reference to other required disclosures is required. The new guidance is to be applied prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and interim periods within those years.  The adoption of this new guidance did not have an impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
ACQUISITION
ACQUISITION
ACQUISITION

The Corporation continually evaluates potential acquisitions that either strategically fit within the Corporation’s existing portfolio or expand the Corporation’s portfolio into new product lines or adjacent markets.  The Corporation has completed a number of acquisitions that have been accounted for as business combinations and have resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Corporation's financial statements.  This goodwill arises because the purchase prices for these businesses reflect the future earnings and cash flow potential in excess of the earnings and cash flows attributable to the current product and customer set at the time of acquisition.  Thus, goodwill inherently includes the know-how of the assembled workforce, the ability of the workforce to further improve the technology and product offerings, and the expected cash flows resulting from these efforts.  Goodwill may also include expected synergies resulting from the complementary strategic fit these businesses bring to existing operations.

The Corporation allocates the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. In the months after closing, as the Corporation obtains additional information about these assets and liabilities, including through tangible and intangible asset appraisals, and as the Corporation learns more about the newly acquired business, it is able to refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price.  Only items identified as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment.  The Corporation will make appropriate adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to completion of the measurement period, as required.

Flow Control

2013 Acquisitions

Gulf33 Valve Pros, LLC

On September 16, 2013, the Corporation acquired the assets of Gulf33 for $4.1 million, with a portion of the purchase price held back as security for potential indemnification claims against the seller. Management funded the purchase from the Corporation's revolving credit facility.

Based in Louisiana, Gulf33 provides valve repair and maintenance services to the offshore oil and gas market, and will operate within the Oil & Gas division of the Flow Control segment.

The Corporation recorded $2.0 million of goodwill in connection with the transaction. Revenues of the acquired business were approximately $4.0 million in 2012.

Phönix Group

On February 28, 2013, the Corporation acquired all the outstanding shares of Phönix Holding GmbH for $97.9 million, net of cash acquired.  The Share Purchase and Transfer Agreement contains a purchase price adjustment mechanism and representations and warranties customary for a transaction of this type, including a portion of the purchase price deposited into escrow as security for potential indemnification claims against the seller.  Management funded the purchase from the Corporation’s revolving credit facility and excess cash at foreign locations.

Phönix, headquartered in Germany, is a designer and manufacturer of valves, valve systems and related support services to the global chemical, petrochemical and power (both conventional and nuclear) markets.  Phönix has 282 employees and operates Phönix Valves in Volkmarsen, Germany; Strack, located in Barleben, Germany; and Daume Control Valves, located in Hanover, Germany. Phönix also owns sales subsidiaries with warehouses in Texas and France.

Revenues of the acquired business were approximately $60.0 million in 2012. The business operates within the Marine & Power Products Division of Curtiss-Wright's Flow Control segment.

The amounts of net sales and net loss included in the Corporation’s consolidated statement of earnings from the acquisition date to the period ended September 30, 2013 are $36.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

The purchase price of the acquisition has been allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired with the remainder recorded as goodwill on the basis of estimated fair values, as follows:

Supplemental Pro Forma Statements of Operations Data

The assets, liabilities and results of operations of the businesses acquired in 2013 were not material to the Corporation’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, and therefore pro forma financial information for the Phonix and Gulf33 acquisitions are not presented.

The following table presents unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information for the combined results of the Corporation and its completed business acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2012 as if the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2012 for purposes of the financial information presented for the periods ended September 30, 2012.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated results were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and are based on historical financial information.  The unaudited pro forma consolidated results are not necessarily indicative of what our consolidated results of operations actually would have been had we completed the acquisition on January 1, 2012. In addition, the unaudited pro forma consolidated results do not purport to project the future results of operations of the combined company nor do they reflect the expected realization of any cost savings associated with the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results reflect primarily the following pro forma pre-tax adjustments:

Additional amortization expense related to the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired of approximately $3.3 million and $9.7 million for the three and nine months ended, September 30, 2012, respectively.
Elimination of historical interest expense of approximately $0.9 million and $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended, September 30, 2012, respectively.
Additional interest expense associated with the incremental borrowings that would have been incurred to acquire these companies as of January 1, 2012 of $4.6 million and $13.6 million for the three and nine months ended, September 30, 2012, respectively.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
Forward Foreign Exchange and Currency Option Contracts
 
The Corporation has foreign currency exposure primarily in the United Kingdom, Europe, and Canada.  The Corporation uses financial instruments, such as forward and option contracts, to hedge a portion of existing and anticipated foreign currency denominated transactions.  The purpose of the Corporation’s foreign currency risk management program is to reduce volatility in earnings caused by exchange rate fluctuations.  Guidance on accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities requires companies to recognize all of the derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based upon quoted market prices for comparable instruments.
 
Interest Rate Risks and Related Strategies
 
The Corporation’s primary interest rate exposure results from changes in U.S. dollar interest rates. The Corporation’s policy is to manage interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. The Corporation periodically uses interest rate swaps to manage such exposures. Under these interest rate swaps, the Corporation exchanges, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount.

For interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges (i.e., hedges against the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps offset changes in the fair value of the fixed rate debt due to changes in market interest rates.

In March 2013, the Corporation entered into fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements to convert the interest payments of (i) the $100 million, 3.85% notes, due February 26, 2025, from a fixed rate to a floating interest rate based on 1-Month LIBOR plus a 1.77% spread, and (ii) the $75 million, 4.05% notes, due February 26, 2028, from a fixed rate to a floating interest rate based on 1-Month LIBOR plus a 1.73% spread.
 
In January 2012, the Corporation entered into fixed-to-floating interest rate swap agreements to convert the interest payments of (i) the $200 million, 4.24% notes, due December 1, 2026, from a fixed rate to a floating interest rate based on 1-Month LIBOR plus a 2.02% spread, and (ii) $25 million of the $100 million, 3.84% notes, due December 1, 2021, from a fixed rate to a floating interest rate based on 1-Month LIBOR plus a 1.90% spread.

The notional amounts of the Corporation’s outstanding interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges were $400 million at September 30, 2013.

The fair value accounting guidance requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company has the ability to access.

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves.

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable data points that are not corroborated by market data.

Based upon the fair value hierarchy, all of the forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps are valued at a Level 2.

Debt

The estimated fair value amounts were determined by the Corporation using available market information that is primarily based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues as of September 30, 2013.  Accordingly, all of the Corporation’s debt is valued at a Level 2.  The fair values described below may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.  Furthermore, the use of different methodologies to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

The carrying amount of the variable interest rate debt approximates fair value as the interest rates are reset periodically to reflect current market conditions.

On February 26, 2013, the Corporation issued $400 million of Senior Notes (the 2013 Notes).  The 2013 Notes consist of $225 million of 3.70% Senior Notes that mature on February 26, 2023, $100 million of 3.85% Senior Notes that mature on February 26, 2025, and $75 million of 4.05% Senior Notes that mature on February 26, 2028.  An additional $100 million of 4.11% Senior Notes that mature on September 26, 2028, were issued on September 26, 2013. The 2013 Notes are senior unsecured obligations, equal in right of payment to the Corporation's existing senior indebtedness. The Corporation, at its option, can prepay at any time all or any part of the 2013 Notes, subject to a make-whole payment in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement.  In connection with the issuance of the 2013 Notes, the Corporation paid customary fees that have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the 2013 Notes.  Under the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Corporation is required to maintain certain financial ratios, the most restrictive of which is a debt to capitalization limit of 60%. The debt to capitalization ratio is calculated using the same formula for all of the Corporation's debt agreements and is a measure of the Corporation's indebtedness, as defined per the notes purchase agreement and credit agreement, to capitalization, where capitalization equals debt plus equity. The Corporation had the ability to borrow additional debt of $1.2 billion without violating our debt to capitalization covenant. The 2013 Notes also contain a cross default provision with respect to the Corporation’s other senior indebtedness.

The components of the restructuring costs by segment are as follows:
Flow Control
During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, the Flow Control segment recorded $0.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively, of restructuring charges, primarily for severance and benefits costs associated with headcount reductions to streamline operations.
Controls
During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, the Controls segment recorded $0.4 million and $3.4 million, respectively, of restructuring charges, primarily for severance and benefits costs associated with headcount reductions to streamline operations.
Surface Technologies
During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, the Surface Technologies segment recorded $0.8 million and $6.0 million, respectively, of restructuring charges. The $6.0 million of restructuring charges recorded during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, includes non-cash charges of $4.8 million recorded during the second quarter of 2012, primarily related to fixed asset write-downs. The remainder of the restructuring charges were primarily associated with severance and benefits costs related to headcount reductions.
In June of 2013, the Corporation entered into a lease termination agreement for the facility that was vacated as part of the 2012 restructuring initiative. The lease termination payment was made in July, resulting in a $3.7 million decrease to the restructuring liability, which is reflected in Other current liabilities of the Corporation’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Nonrecurring measurements
In connection with our 2012 restructuring initiative, during the second quarter of 2012, the Corporation announced a plan to cease operations at a certain facility within our Surface Technologies segment by the fourth quarter of 2012. This decision resulted in a reduction of the useful life of the asset group at the facility. In accordance with the provisions of the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets guidance of FASB Codification Subtopic 360-10, long-lived assets held and used with a carrying amount of $4.8 million were written down to their fair value of zero, resulting in an impairment charge of $4.8 million. The fair value of the impairment charge was determined using the income approach over the reduced useful life of the asset group. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, the impairment charge is classified as a Level 3 measurement as it is based on significant other observable inputs.

In May 2013, the Corporation's Board of Directors approved an amendment to the CW Pension Plan.   The amendment, which is effective January 1, 2014, changes the time period used to calculate final and career average pay formulas and resulted  
in a $3 million reduction to the projected benefit obligation of the plan and a second quarter 2013 curtailment charge of $2 million. The plan amendments also required a remeasurement of the assets and liabilities of the Curtiss-Wright Pension Plan.  Due to favorable asset performance and an increase in the discount rate, the remeasurement decreased the pension liability by $45 million in the second quarter of 2013. The tax impact of the remeasurement was $18 million and recorded during the third quarter of 2013 as an out of period adjustment. The combined impact of the amendment, curtailment, and remeasurement resulted in a gain in Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $32 million.

In September 2013, the Corporation amended the Metal Improvement Company - Salaried Staff pension Scheme (U.K.) and the Penny & Giles Pension Plan (U.K.) to cease the accrual of future benefits effective December 31, 2013. The amendments to the plans resulted in a $7 million reduction to the projected benefit obligations and a curtailment gain of $2.8 million. The plan amendments also required a remeasurement of the assets and liabilities, which resulted in an increase to the pension liability of approximately $1 million. The combined impact of the amendment, curtailment and remeasurement resulted in a gain in Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $2 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Corporation made $41 million in contributions to the Curtiss-Wright Pension Plan, and does not expect to make any further contributions in 2013.  In addition, contributions of $4 million were made to the Corporation’s foreign benefit plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Contributions to the foreign benefit plans are expected to be $5 million in 2013.

CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
 
Legal Proceedings
 
The Corporation has been named in a number of lawsuits that allege injury from exposure to asbestos.  To date, the Corporation has not been found liable for or paid any material sum of money in settlement in any case.  The Corporation believes its minimal use of asbestos in its past and current operations and the relatively non-friable condition of asbestos in its products makes it unlikely that it will face material liability in any asbestos litigation, whether individually or in the aggregate.  The Corporation maintains insurance coverage for these potential liabilities and believes adequate coverage exists to cover any unanticipated asbestos liability.
 
The Corporation is party to a number of legal actions and claims, none of which individually or in the aggregate, in the opinion of management, are expected to have a material effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial position.
 
Environmental Matters
 
The aggregate environmental liability was $16.8 million at September 30, 2013 and $16.4 million at December 31, 2012.  All environmental reserves exclude any potential recovery from insurance carriers or third-party legal actions.
 
Letters of Credit and Other Financial Arrangements
 
The Corporation enters into standby letters of credit agreements and guarantees with financial institutions and customers primarily relating to guarantees of repayment, future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services, and to secure advance payments from certain international customers. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were $51.1 million and $51.8 million of stand-by letters of credit outstanding, respectively, and $18.3 million and $6.8 million of bank guarantees outstanding, respectively.   In addition, the Corporation is required to provide the Nuclear Regulatory Commission financial assurance demonstrating its ability to cover the cost of decommissioning its Cheswick, Pennsylvania facility upon closure, though the Corporation does not intend to close this facility.  The Corporation has provided this financial assurance in the form of a $52.9 million surety bond.
 
AP1000 Program

The Corporation’s Electro-Mechanical Division is the reactor coolant pump (RCP) supplier for the Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear power plants under construction in China and the United States.  The terms of the AP1000 China and United States contracts include liquidated damage penalty provisions for failure to meet contractual delivery dates if the Corporation caused the delay and the delay was not excusable.  On October 10, 2013, the Corporation received a letter from Westinghouse stating entitlements to the maximum amount of liquidated damages allowable under the AP1000 China contract from Westinghouse of approximately $25 million.  The Corporation would be liable for liquidated damages under the contract if certain contractual delivery dates were not met and if the Corporation was deemed responsible for the delay. To date, the Corporation has not met certain contractual delivery dates under its AP 1000 China contract; however there are significant uncertainties as to which parties are responsible for the delays.  The Corporation believes it has adequate legal defenses and we intend to vigorously defend this matter. Given the uncertainties surrounding the responsibility for the delays no accrual has been made for this matter as of September 30, 2013.  The range of possible loss is $0 to $25 million.
 
U.S. Government Defense Budget/Sequestration
 
In August 2011, the Budget Control Act (the Act) announced a reduction in the Department of Defense (DoD) top line budget by approximately $490 billion over 10 years starting in 2013.  The initial and mandatory budget cuts (or sequestration) as outlined in the Act were to be implemented starting on January 2, 2013. However, on January 1, 2013, Congress elected to delay the impact of sequestration until at least March 1, 2013, and these cuts were to be automatically implemented if an agreement had not been reached by March 27, 2013.  On March 26, 2013, President Obama signed into law a continuing budget resolution which provides additional funding and flexibility for U.S. Government agencies to reallocate funds to priority areas in FY2013.  In April 2013, the President released his initial budget proposal for FY2014, which leaves uncertainty as to how the sequester to be imposed on defense spending next year will be determined.  While such reductions to future DoD spending levels are largely undetermined, any reduction in levels of DoD spending, cancellations or delays impacting existing contracts or programs, including through sequestration, could have a material impact on the Corporation’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. 

Lease Agreements

On June 3, 2013, the Corporation entered into a build to suit agreement for the construction and lease of a new manufacturing facility in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The new facility will consist of two buildings totaling approximately 178,975 square feet situated on 12.5 acres, and will serve as a facility for warehousing, heavy manufacturing, research and development, general office, and hazardous material storage for the Electro Mechanical division in the Flow Control segment. Under the terms of the lease agreement, the Corporation is obligated to pay annual fixed rent of $1.9 million every year for the first eight years with rent escalation of 2.5% every year thereafter for a total of fifteen years.

On June 5, 2013, the Corporation entered into a build to suit agreement for the construction and lease of a new facility in Idaho Falls, Idaho. The new facility will consist of two buildings totaling approximately 112,000 square feet situated on 8.6 acres, and will serve as a general office, assembly, and testing facility for the Nuclear Group division in the Flow Control segment. Under the terms of the lease agreement, the Corporation is obligated to pay initial annual rent of $1.1 million with rent escalation of 2.5% every year thereafter for a total of fifteen years.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent Events
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 1, 2013, the Corporation acquired the stock of Parvus Corporation for $38 million in cash. Parvus is a designer and manufacturer of rugged small form factor computers and communications subsystems for the aerospace, defense, homeland security, and industrial markets. The business will operate within the Corporation's Controls segment.

On October 1, 2013, the Corporation acquired the assets of Ovalpath, Inc. for $2.5 million in cash. The agreement also provides for future consideration of up to an additional $6.4 million based on the achievement of certain financial metrics over a five year period immediately after the closing date. Ovalpath is the developer of a proprietary software platform used in mobile-device based applications serving the commercial nuclear power market. The business will operate within the Corporation's Flow Control segment.

On October 4, 2013, the Corporation acquired the membership interests of Arens Controls, LLC for $98 million in cash. Arens is a designer and manufacturer of highly-engineered, precision operator interface controls, and power management systems for commercial and off-road industrial vehicles. The business will operate within the Corporation's Controls segment.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Policies)
 
Curtiss-Wright Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Corporation or the Company) is a diversified, multinational manufacturing and service company that designs, manufactures, and overhauls precision components and systems and provides highly engineered products and services to the aerospace, defense, automotive, shipbuilding, processing, oil, petrochemical, agricultural equipment, railroad, power generation, security, and metalworking industries.
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Curtiss-Wright and its majority-owned subsidiaries.  All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
 
On March 30, 2012, the Corporation sold its heat treating business to Bodycote plc.  The Corporation divested this non-core cyclical business to focus on higher technology engineered services such as specialty coatings and materials testing.  As a result of the divestiture, the results of operations for the heat treating business, which were previously reported as part of the Surface Technologies segment, have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Please refer to Footnote 3 of the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant of these estimates includes the estimate of costs to complete long-term contracts under the percentage-of-completion accounting methods, the estimate of useful lives for property, plant, and equipment, cash flow estimates used for testing the recoverability of assets, pension plan and postretirement obligation assumptions, estimates for inventory obsolescence, estimates for the valuation and useful lives of intangible assets, warranty reserves, legal reserves, and the estimate of future environmental costs. Changes in estimates of contract sales, costs, and profits are recognized using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. This method recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods. Accordingly, the effect of the changes on future periods of contract performance is recognized as if the revised estimate had been the original estimate. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Corporation incurred unanticipated additional costs, within its Flow Control segment, of $12.2 million and $20.3 million, respectively, on its long-term contract with Westinghouse for disassembly, inspection, and packaging costs related to the reactor coolant pumps (RCP) that the Corporation is supplying for the AP1000 nuclear power plants in China. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of the operating results for a full year.
Corrections to Prior Years Amounts

The presentation of net sales and cost of sales in the prior year's statement of earnings has been corrected to separately present the components of product and service revenues and costs of sales. This change in presentation did not affect total revenues, total cost of sales, total gross profit, operating income, or net earnings.

Out of Period Correction of an Immaterial Error Related to Three and Six Month Periods ended June 30, 2013

In the third quarter of 2013, the Corporation recorded an out of period adjustment related to the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 of $18 million to decrease comprehensive income and increase our deferred tax liability to reflect the tax impact of a May 31, 2013 amendment to our Curtiss-Wright Pension Plan which required a plan remeasurement. This error did not affect our condensed consolidated statement of net earnings or condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 or the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013.  The Corporation evaluated the effects of this error on the June 30, 2013 condensed consolidated financial statements and based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, the Corporation determined that the error was not material and, therefore, amendment of previously filed reports is not required. 

ADOPTION OF NEW STANDARDS

Other Comprehensive Income:  Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In February 2013, new guidance was issued that amends the current comprehensive income guidance.  The new guidance requires entities to disclose the effect of each item that was reclassified in its entirety out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net income on each affected net income line item.  For reclassification items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, a cross-reference to other required disclosures is required. The new guidance is to be applied prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and interim periods within those years.  The adoption of this new guidance did not have an impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
